Integrate Amazon DynamoDB with Appy Pie Design

In this article, I would be discussing the integration of Amazon DynamoDB and Appy Pie Design. In this article, I will discuss why there is a need for this integration.

Amazon DynamoDB is a distributed NoSQL database that provides fast and predictable performance with seamless scalability. It is a fully managed cloud service which means you do not have to worry about hardware provisioning, setup, configuration or replication. It supports both document and key-value store models. It has a flexible data model, supports indexing and queries and stores JSON documents and allows you to run read and write capacity units.

In order to create a new project in Appy Pie Design, you have to create an app. In order to create an app, you have to specify the details of the app as shown in the picture below:

In order to integrate Amazon DynamoDB with Appy Pie Design, fplowing are the steps:

Create a table called “users” in Amazon DynamoDB backend. Now go to Appy Pie Design and click on “Add a new app” button. You will be directed to a page where you have to fill all the required fields as shown below:

On the next page, you can see that Appy Pie Design has already selected Amazon S3 as the default storage option. Now click on “Save” button. You can see that all the required information has been filled by Appy Pie Design. In the previous example, you can see that there is a “Table Name” field which is empty so we need to fill it with the name of the table we created in Amazon DynamoDB backend. You can see that we will be using “users” as the table name and we will be selecting “Object Store” as our storage option. Once you have filled all the details go to the next page and click on “Next” button as shown below:

On the next page, we need to provide an access key and secret key as shown below:

You can use your existing Amazon account or create one for this purpose. Once you have provided all the details, click on “Save” button as shown below:

You will be directed to the preview page as shown below:

Now we will be creating a view and a contrpler for our project as shown below:

You will be directed to the projects page as shown below:

Now we will be adding an item called “Todo View” as shown below:

Now we will be adding an item called “Todo Contrpler” as shown below:

We will now add some actions such as CREATERECORD, GETALL, DELETEOBJECT and UPDATEOBJECT as shown below:

Now we will be adding some tests for our contrpler. These tests are already available in the test fpder of the project under contrplers/TodoContrplerTest.js file as shown below:

We will now run these tests by clicking on the button “Run Tests”. You can now see that tests are running now as shown below:

Now let us now execute our tests by clicking on the button “Execute Tests”. You can see that all of our tests are now passing as shown below:
